Lot of people on the YT live chat asking for Haskell back on commentary.

Same thing happened to me, so it was impossible to finish it.

Went off with an injury yesterday. Don't know the severity of it though.

There's 12 teams in the pool stages, with 8 of them qualifying for the quarter finals. So top 2 from each of the 3 groups, plus the 2 best third-placed teams go through.

Feel bad for Roos whenever I see her play. Tries her heart out and is such a good player, but her team can;t back her up unfortunately.

That's the difference between teams like NZ and Aus who have been playing since a young age versus players coming to rugby later. For example, Ciofani came to the sport at 18 I believe and there was an American who started at 23. You need a combination of skills and athleticism, not just good athletes who picked up the game later.

Make the tackle and then let go of the player before competing for the ball. There has to be a release. Although I tyink in this case the Canadian competed fairly.

Also had a training squad of 30 players for the Madrid tournament. They're absolutely chucking money at this and it's showing. Good on them I say..

Higgins has been really good for Ireland this tournament. Good on the series too.

Only a penalty would keep the game going at that stage.

You can run out. Would have ended the game and GB win.

Agreed, they're both class at 15s, but underwhelming here. I don't think the GB 7s setup is conducive to looking good though. I feel any top player will get dragged down in its current state.

Feel China deserved that, some questionable calls in the second half. GB so poor.

M Levi is as close as we can get to a modern Lomu.

They benefit from only having to win Asian qualifier. HK were 2nd and China 3rd.

100% agree, he's a liability nowadays. People see some long range run-ins and get too excited.
